Wonder and Rage: Surabhi Yadav's Mission to Empower Rural Women in India
Content warning: this episode contains content based around the mistreatment of women that some listeners may find upsetting. Surabhi Yadav grew up in a rural village in India. At an early age, she witnessed the stark differences in societal and cultural expectations between men and women. But rather than bending to the norms placed on her as a young woman, she dedicated much of her life to bending them right back. Surabhi became a beacon of hope for rural women across India by refusing to accept the status quo, empowering others to pursue meaningful careers instead of simply focusing on their livelihoods. As the founder of the non-profit Sajhe Sapne, she's made it her mission to educate rural women through innovative community college-like institutions called "Sapna Centers." In this powerful conversation, Surabhi opens up about her core values and beliefs, reflecting on the emotional aspects of her work that she rarely has the chance to explore. We discuss the first time she spoke out as a young girl, the challenges faced by rural women in India when it comes to pursuing work they love, and how the joy of creativity fuels her entrepreneurial spirit.
